SUSTAINABILITY NEWS

Have you seen our new garden beds down near the Burnley Street fence? Bunnings have donated these three new garden beds as well as the soil for them, which has been a great win for our students. A big thank you to Ms Sally for organising this contact with Bunnings. We are really excited about having these new big garden beds and are ready to plant lots of delicious veggies and beautiful flowers. We hope we can grow lots of potatoes and then turn them into yummy chips for us to eat!  

CAN YOU HELP US?

Gardening Club would love some parent helpers. If you are free Thursdays 11.20 - 12.05 or another time during the week please email Ms Belinda at bnechwatal@tcs.catholic.edu.au

We are also looking for netting to protect our precious plants from the hungry possums!

Year 1/2 AS and MB have been learning about planting seeds and watching them grow. Here is a little rhyme we have been learning. 1/2DG will be planting their seeds next week.

Our Compost Ninjas program continues to be a great success, with students collecting food scraps every day, and today we cut them up small and fed them to our worms. We will be looking at how much we have been ab.le to lessen our waste, through this project

SUPER 20% DISCOUNTS - ORDER YOUR FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BOXES

Farmers’ Pick have offered us a huge 20% off for all new orders! Trinity is participating in the ‘Feed Our School’ fundraising initiative by Farmers Pick, an organisation that prevents ‘perfectly imperfect’ fruit and vegetables from ending up in landfill, by selling boxes of this produce that supermarkets can't. Trinity families can order fruit and veg boxes online, and have it conveniently delivered to Trinity every Tuesday.  Better yet, their produce is priced up to 30% less than at the supermarket, and Trinity receives $5 for every box ordered! See flyers attached for more information.
